No,
thanks; I'd rather have X fail to start and dump me at a normal console from
which I can fix the problem *without rebooting*, much less needing to dig up

I believe we already do that today, and am not advocating removing
that functionality if possible.
Right. If X doesn't work, we currently fall back on non-X consoles.
You said earlier:
We're going to be removing the legacy non-X system consoles by default
in the long run.
...which would cause a problem there.
Maybe we're simply miscommunicating. Did you mean "we are going to
arrange so that you never see a non-X console unless you a: ask for one
(ctrl-alt-fX) or b: something goes wrong"? That's not how I read that
the first time (now, I'm simply unsure what you meant). If that's the
case, cool, forget what I said :-). Just so long as those "legacy non-X
consoles" don't cease to exist, I've no gripes making them as hidden as
you like for people that don't go looking for them.
